Girls Golf

I was with the girls from my trabajo and we went golfing! We were sent on a mission to play a game none of us were great at - we agreed to do this because drinks were included.

We all borrowed friends netball outfits and went as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (but more human).

Sari try out!

Me and My sister headed over to Mrs Vida's house to learn how to wear a Sari! At church ladies would wear them and look really exotic and elegant. I wanted to know how to wear a Sari! Along with the long fabric, you have to get a choli and a long skirt in order to help the sari skirt hold up.

Shopping we go

My uniform of life basically - shirt and shorts to go out anywhere (unless its cold)
I guess I was being strange and wore a long sleeved shirt with frills on the shoulders - Maybe if the shirt had more frills on the sleeve and kept the sleeves short. I recon that would've looked better - especially since it is melting outside.

Out in town ~ 28 Jan 2012

It's a new year ~ the year of the DRAGON! I hope everyone is having fun and are making their dreams come true in what is going to be such an exciting year! Up above is the image of my handbag - VERY colorful and it has room to put my phone AND keys into it. There are only a few clutch bags that can do that (Or I'm buying the wrong ones)

This is Lía~ one of my super stylish girls. She wore tight black jeans, a sparkly baby pink top with these sky high black heels (making her SUPER tall).

Liah ~ super stylish chick she b

on NYE 2011 she wore a black shirt dress with sparkly sequins, a chunky sparkly black clutch and a massive  sparkly ring

and she had a black bag to match!

Bracelets

Party People Part 1

Party people on the weekend wear what? Short dresses! Everyone has been wearing them since the mini rules. Minhee is wearing the black and white mini dress that is super fluffy on the top! Thi is wearing a animal print mini, with a belt and a greek-inspired cold shoulder.

I really adore the cold shoulder sleeves; to me they look so elegant and sexy at the same time!

The birthday girl wore a snappy dress from Mixed Lollies - I adore the black and white extra skirt that is coming out! It's like a big BOOM out of her!

Drovers Ball

Here are my friends posing with orchids at the Drovers fundraiser ball of 2011 - Look at my chikas!

Hollie - in the ruby red dress chose really well - A deep red color dress looks good on anyone, no matter what their skin tone - and I think the colors the girls chose looks great on them!

ke ke ke The one shoulder dress just makes me think about when 300 came out - bring back the Greek garb!

Tara was in the grey blue one shoulder dress in the middle. 

What I wore for Halloween 2011

When you want to eliminate the possibility of wearing the same outfit  as someone else - you make the costume yourself. I found my inspiration: a top in my closet that I had never worn - it was a man shirt with a scary pirate on it from Jay Jay's (When the new Pirates of the Caribbean Movie was out). 

I also had a spare blue and white striped shirt that I didnt' like anymore - I ripped it up and mutated the man shirt to create a messy dress for a Pirate!

I looked for a red bandanna, handkerchief, fabric place mat - nothing. I did find a red tie in my cleaning adventures and thought that would be alright to wear instead! I finished my outfit off by wearing one arm warmer with mismatched bling; gold earring one one ear and feathers on the other

My eye make up was fun cuz I just splashed color on my eyes. I threw on lots of blue eye shadow - and added stripes a bit of blue and silver on my cheek.I then smeared on thick eyeliner to make my eyes stand out. I learnt from vids on youtube that you put on the eye shadow before the eyeliner - and it makes life so much easier!

What I wore yesterday

My mother laughed at my outfit as I went out to go shopping. She said that I had "angry" shoes on and all you could see were legs! I thought it looked alright - high waisted cream pencil skirt with a white throw over vest. Since the vest was too low to wear by itself (for my taste) I added an undershirt. I also had to use a pin to hold the vest together - I think it looked better done up rather than hanging

Night Markets

My little sister and Nauvoo know what to wear to the Todd Mall Markets at night. 

My sister kept it casual with cuffed jean shorts, black top and my oversized shirt dress - keeping it casual with MY clothes (anyone got a younger sister? you share my pain )

Nauvoo wore a cute floral dress and black corset top. What I adored about her outfit that night was her Vampire Knight jacket - Its so cool and it shows off her love for the anime and cosplay!

What to wear when riding a bike

I decided to use my bike as a main mode of transportation on the weekend and had a little dilema- how can I look casual; Not like I'm going to the gym?

Here's what I wore-I found some old shorts from last summer and a top with mesh cuts through it from Mixed Lollies. I didn't want to wear sneakers (cuz mine are ugly) so I wore the flat, lace up boots I got from Betts. 

Do you know that my feet get real sweaty and smelly if I don't wear socks with closed shoes(hee hee now you do)?  

I had to wear socks but I didn't want those small gym ones because my calves would get super sweaty. I got come long knee high socks from a friend and threw them on with the boots. I did it for comfort at first but when I was out with the girls one of them said that they loved the mix of boots and socks! :) 

So if you're biking - wear for comfort first, comfortable bottoms and a loose top.

Day of Casuals?

Hangin out with the girls to watch a dance performance is good - but right after work? What do you wear? I just threw on some basketball sneakers to make my look -_-. Leah (gal on the left) kept her work top - threw on a short slleve blazer, shorts, long necklace  and some summer high heels.

Just tweak a few things to make office gear look cool!

Christmas in July!

Themed parties are really the best - I don't get why some people don't like them! You can be creative and abstract with your clothes. Nauvoo was the only person who used green (a MAJOR Christmas color) as a main color - look at that electric green dress. It completely stood out from all the red and white outfits on display that evening!

Minhee convinced these boys to all dress up and serve everyone food! I adore how they're all in uniform, and impressed with Minhee's convincing skills!

What we wore yesterday

This is what I wore after work today - I had to keep in mind that I was taking my little sister for a driving lesson (super scary!) So I threw on tight black jeans, loose cold shoulder top and flat boots to be fully prepared. I must admit that I think I went overboard with the accessories. Headband, red sunnies, long heart necklace  a ring on each finger and bangles - was that too much?

MC looked super cute in her gear~ She had her new favorite leopard print dance pants and thongs. I helped her with the top of her body. I lent her my long feather earrings and white man shirt. There was a massive sale on at Ed Harrys in town so I grabbed a few men's shirts for $5 each - thy're all XL and above but I fixed the shirt.
I made it to fit better at the bottom of the shirt so that it didn't look like a bag over anyone who wears it. Helps you look super relaxed without looking like you've gone out with your pajamas!

Pose for fun!

One afternoon after work I was cleaning my wardrobe and saw clothes that might look good together but do not fit me - either too big or too small. Thankfully I had my little sister and her friends to help me with my dilemma. It's school holidays now and all they seem to do is lay around the house and watch TV (which is what I did but I can do that). I had MC  throw on her long sleeveless tye-dye dress while I did the rest. I found this long colorful scarf at the Todd Mall Markets on Sunday and thought of other ways to wear a scarf. After mucking around a bit - we found that the scarf could work real good with it on her head! I enjoyed the disco gypsy feel the scarf gave off.

Ma eyes

Ok here's me trying to be cute - I was really trying to get my eyes in this one because I had some fun with it. I read somewhere that bright eyeliner was coming in style and I always really enjoyed the white on the eyes as a bit of a brightener. So, what I did was outline my eyes with black eyeliner (very thin though and very close to the eye ball) then outline with the white. I like it because it REALLY makes you eyes stand out. 

If I had a brighter color eye (say blue or green) then I would adore to do this with an eyeliner that matched my eye color - I think with brown it wouldn't work that well on my eyes.

Wearing a necklace as headgear

Hello again! Long time no write huh? Well I'm getting back into it starting by showing a funny picture of ma face. I got some new bangs/fringe on ma face to look a little more like Cleopatra! I found a necklace that my sister brought back from a school trip and thought it was the weirdest thing to buy. It was bits of fabric tied onto a chain and that was a necklace.

I thought it would look better as a headpiece! I've seen the Judas MV, Run the world, and even Kelis' Egyptian inspired headgear in Bounce. I think it's true what my parents said - styles come back into fashion. (no matter how old they are)

What I wore today!

This is what I decided to wear today! I found a corset given to me from Nauvoo (she said it was too big) and these long flowing pants with heels. 

I like this combo because I'm just showing off my shoulders and arms - the flowing pants cover your legs up but can still make the onlooker take notice of them as they might think "are they pants or a long skirt?"

TM - Bags and Japanese Uniform

 AH! Sorry for not blogging in AGES! I didn't realize that paperwork was important .....

But I'm back and I had my camera ready for when I saw Hollie's bag! I like it; it has a a large brooch, leather starps (my favourite no matter what decade), a colorful floral print, and she got the bag locally in town! I'm sure running a small business is hard~that's why I give my hats off to them (Cuz I don't think I could do that)

Next here we have Justin - he lived in Japan as an English teacher for about 6 years! WOW! and over there he grabbed a Japanese school uniform (for boys). It looks so snappy and it looks just like the ones I watch on their dramas! Black trousers, black button up shirt, and a white top underneath. The buttons were beautiful because they had great detail on them and it looked like the school emblem was carved into them!
